P&N on pbw
 

i installed seiv on this computer, got a copy of P&N for pbw, installed that and i'm getting a 'could not find field "data directory" in record' one error and it's not finding the savegame. it might be a problem with the Version on SJ's website, but if so i can't get on pbw web cause my password is *drumroll* on my other computer.

help?

Re: P&N on pbw
 

Are you using 2.5 PBW? That is the Version the game is using. Any other Version will not work.

Also, make sure to fix the oversight in that Version that sets the Use Old Log Political Message Display setting in Settings.txt to TRUE, thus preventing you from scrolling the Messages. Make it FALSE.

looking at the zip files, it seems i somehow managed to download 2.3??? i was sure my mouse was on 2.5. now, my only question is tweaked Version or non-tweated?

Re: P&N on pbw
 

What do you mean tweaked or non-tweaked? It is using the PBW Version...

Re: P&N on pbw
 

his website lists 2.5 tweaked and 2.5 untweaked for pbw. and a 2.6, but i'm pretty sure we're using 2.5.

Re: P&N on pbw
 

You want the 2.5b PBW (also available on PBW)

Re: P&N on pbw
 

I am not sure what the tweaked and untweaked are, but just try each of them and see what works.

headache

Re: P&N on pbw
 

none of the 2.5 worked. all of them gave the same error and didn't see the save game.

Re: P&N on pbw
 

Narf, are you trying to play with Gold or 1.49? The game is using 1.49, NOT Gold.

Re: P&N on pbw
 

Ok, I've just gone and zipped a copy of the datafiles I'm using for the game right now.

WHAT? WHO'S THIS PERSON WHO'S BEEN PRETENDING TO BE ME?

just kidding.

i don't have gold. and it's now a moot point, cause the better computer is back. all it needed was a new bios and i guess they figured out which one, so no charge. so we got a new hard-drive. 30 gigs. yeah, they got bigger ones, but we like to stay at the cheaper end of the scale.

Re: P&N on pbw
 

slight posting error. gigabytes. 30 megabytes wouldn't even take too many savegames of some of these games. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
